THE RICHMOND ASHORE.
The Steamer Beached at the En-
trance of Miiibridge Harbor.

Steamer City of Richmond. Captain Will
liam Z. Dennison, of the Portland, Mt. De-
sert and Machas Line, struck on ledge
while entering Millbridge Harbor early yes
terday morning and is now beached near
that place.
The first reports concerning the accident
were much exaggerated and it is found that
the boat is but little damaged. When the
accident occurred the boat had not reached
the place where she takes on the most pas
sengers and only about twenty people, be-
sides the crew, were ON board. No panic
ensued and the passengers were taken by
the steamer Forest City. which happened
along, to Bar Harbor, and from thence by
rail to their destinations.
General Manager Payson Tucker tele-
graphed that he would dispatch certain tug
boats to the steamers assistance, but he re-
ceiyed an answer that none were needed.
The boat is beached in a safe place and the
hole which was made in her when she
struck on the ledge will be soon mended, and
the water which leaked in pumped out. She
will proceed to this city this morning, and
will make her regular trip Tuesday, if not
Friday.
1t is said that the accident was caused by
the dense fog which prevailed at the time.

Harbor says; 1.-THE steamer City of Rich

The play is very funny one, and this COM

Spouse played their parts excellently.

Mr.. Burbidge in the ludicrous character Of
Marcus Brutus Snap, the barn stormer. The
play was well put upon the stage, and the

was very well arranged

SAD ACCIDENT.
A Boy Crushed in an Elevator at
Sacoarappa.

Yesterday afternoon a young lad, aged 16
years, named Willett, was ascending in the
elevator at the Bingham Mill in Saccarappa,
when in some way he got caught between
one of the tloorings and the elevator, and his
head was terribly crushed. DR.. Smith was
called and did all he could to relieve the
sufferer, but at 10 o'clock last evening the
boy was sinking fast.
Later news states that the lads name was
Alphonse Ouillette, a French boy. BE
stepped upon the elevator platform, intend
ing to 60 to lower floor of the mill, and
while descending, carelessly thrust his head
beneath an iron brace forming part of the
elevator frame, not apparently noticing the
rapid approach of the floor below. AS the
elevator passed through the hatchway, his
head was caught by the floor, and before he
was able to extricate himself it was terribly
crushed, passing through a space of about
four and half inches in width.

Cauging MoIasses.

A large number of the wholesale grocers
of the city have signed a petition-which
will be presented at the next monthly meet
ing of the city communicating that in
future the city gaugers use the caliper gauge
instead of the measuring rod in gauging mo-
lasses. The reason therefor is that they
wish to protect their retail customers, the
rod gauge, as they claim, giving a greater ca
pacity in favor of the importer as against
themselves, and in time against the retailer.
The caliper gauge is used by the customs au-
thorities when the importer removes his mo-
lasses from bond. The rod gauge is used
when the importer sells to the wholesale
dealer, and the latter to the retail dealer

In completing our Investigations of the remarka-
BILE merits of DR.. Greene's Nervura Nerve
Tonic which is to-day the standard remedy in all
nervous diseases, and acknowledged by both ply
sicians and the people as the best known medi-
cine to restore strength and vitality to the weak
ened and debilitated nerves. our reporter inter-
viewed many of the leading druggists in order to
get their verdict in regard to this really wonder
full nerve remedy. The druggists were unanimous
in praise of this remedy, which is having such
great success, performs such remarkable cures
and has so extensive and widespread sale. They
believe, as is just, that the people everywhere
should know of the rare virtues of this most valu-
able medicine in order that they may be cured of
their nervous ills, and for this reason did all in
their power to furnish our reporter with informa-
ton upon this important subject. We give below
the results of our inquiries among the wholesale
and retail druggists.
